Day 47. Kuta, Bali




Salamat datang (hello in Indonesian), it's me Wend again.

Now that we've arrived in Bali Dave has decided to take another break. That's what island life does to you so I'm back for another few days.

I was last in Bali 12 years ago and it's changed, lots of development of hotels, restaurants, shops and the ubiquitous Macdonalds. It's almost unrecognisable but there are still loads of mopeds which you have to skirt around in the narrower streets and alleys. We are staying in a gorgeous hotel though with a lush courtyard and swimming pool which provides us with an oasis of calm.

One thing that hasn't changed is the stunning sunsets from Kuta beach so we spent the late afternoon sitting there watching the locals play beach footie and the sun going down over the horizon.
